Sermons on Easter

Reminder: call your mom today 😉 After Jesus’ Ascension, the scriptures had been fulfilled and the disciples were filled with questions, like “now what?” In the same way we can be filled with a sense of completion, accompanied by hesitation and hopefulness. Let’s not wait for a sign but get back to the work, doing…

It’s easy to love one another – isn’t it? Easy to love your friends, but loving others – some you are indifferent to, or even an enemy? This commandment may be the most challenging, but abiding in Christ’s love and loving one another can be a most rewarding part of life.

Where there is a vine, there is a vinedresser. He prunes, keeping the productive vines and pruning the withered branches. We should strive to abide in the vine if we are to hear fruit and be productive for Him. Taking away those unproductive areas of our life, pruning it back and making us better. Helping…

As the shepherd comes to the sheep, Jesus, the Good Shepherd, comes to us as the Messiah. As anticipated by the prophets of old, He entered by the door, and He laid down His life for the sheep. Jesus came to shepherd His one flock and He is not done yet! He is still at…

Ever since Peter gave the first sermon in our reading from Acts, the disciples and other believers have been sharing the Good News of Jesus. How could they do this? How could they overcome any fear? Even with numerous challenges and obstacles, they shared. But I can’t do it? It’s too hard! Or is it?…

Thomas’ disbelief put a damper on the fellowship of the…

He is Risen! He is risen indeed. Alleluia! Why is Jesus’ resurrection so important to us? Because through His death and resurrection He forgives us and leaves our sins in the tomb. As we are forgiven, we can forgive others. Jesus gives us new life as Children of God. All our church family thank you…

When the women at the tomb discovered that Jesus was risen, Mary records that “they told no one.” They were astonished and afraid. Today, how will we react to the Good News? Will we share it? Or will we, too, say nothing? Fear can paralyze us, fear of what to say, fear of messing up…

When Jesus said His last final goodbye, John 17 captured this prayer, a prayer for who and what mattered most to Him: “May God’s people be one!” Today, we sometimes pull back and exist in isolation. May we strive to be one, to overlook our differences, and tear down those barriers. Lord, help us…

Our theme verse for this year’s Sunday School is Ephesians 2:10. To be Created in Christ, we are not only physically alive but spiritually alive as well! Not to be living among the world, and deserving of wrath, but instead alive in Christ and living a spirit-filled life. He treats us with mercy because of…
